Just out of curiosity. The probability that we talk about in QM, do you think of it as a Bayesian ir as frequentists?

I haven’t thought about it very deeply, Since I thing being an everettian is the way to go

I might be wrong, but I think thats the key point of our disagreement. Repeting experiments so that we can reconstruct known asymptotic stated may be inherently frequentists. While imagining paths from the particles point of view sounds very Bayesian to me.

Well I’m not sure about that, I try to keep my statements about QM independent of interpretation If I had to refine I would say: ‘there is no meaningful way to say a fundamental particle is in the state (x,p).’ Implying that it does not follow any trajectory

I am sure that you're familiar with the positive electron. Looking at fig1 of the Discovery paper I may be biased but that looks a while lot like a trajectory. And they understood their own magnets so well that they even measured the momentum of itpic.twitter.com/PSiWNHaPcs

That’s a good question, but it’s a different question. The point is that we know that they don’t take definite trajectories. If they did there would be no need for a wave function

It was simply in the classical limit, which doesn’t admit QM effects

that's a good question, and there really is no clear cutoff.. if you look up Von Neumann measurement you'll see it just has to do with the wavefunctions becoming more and more entangled with its environment
