COMMENTS
Also positions of 2's and 3's in A003324.
Also positions of 1's in A292077. - Jianing Song, Nov 27 2021
Numbers of the form (2*k+1) * 2^e where k+e is odd. In other words, union of {(4*m+1) * 2^(2t+1)} and {(4*m+3) * 2^(2t)}, where m >= 0, t >= 0.
Numbers whose quaternary (base-4) expansion ends in 300...00 or 0200..00 or 2200..00. Trailing 0's are not necessary.
There are precisely 2^(N-1) terms <= 2^N for every N >= 1.
Equals A004767 Union A343500.
Complement of A338692. - Jianing Song, Apr 26 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = A343501(n)/2. - Jianing Song, Apr 26 2021
EXAMPLE
15 is a term since it is in the family {(4*m+3) * 2^(2t)} with m = 3, t = 0.
18 is a term since it is in the family {(4*m+1) * 2^(2t+1)} with m = 2, t = 0.
PROG
(PARI) isA338691(n) = my(e=valuation(n, 2), k=bittest(n, e+1)); (k+e)%2
