EXAMPLE
The values of 1/e - (1 - 1/k)^k for n = 1..9 are approximately 0.367879, 0.117879, 0.0715831, 0.0514732, 0.0401994, 0.0329815, 0.0279628, 0.0242705, 0.02144, from which we see that the first 9 terms of A247781 are 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, so that the first two terms of A247783 are 2, 8.
MATHEMATICA
z = 400; f[n_] := f[n] = Select[Range[z], 1/E - (1 - 1/#)^# < 1/n &, 1];

d1 = Flatten[Position[Differences[u], 0]] (*A247782*)
d2 = Flatten[Position[Differences[u], 1]] (*A247783*)
