Erdős problem 950

This function was considered by de Bruijn, Erdős, and Turán, who showed that n<xf(n)n<xf(n)2x\sum_{n<x}f(n)\sim \sum_{n<x}f(n)^2\sim x. They gave no proofs, but a proof of the (harder) second claim is given by Gorodetsky here [mathoverflow/508491].

He notes that if π(x)<π(y)+O(xylogx)\pi(x)< \pi(y)+O\left(\frac{x-y}{\log x}\right) for all y<x(logx)Cy<x-(\log x)^C for some constant C>0C>0 then f(n)logloglognf(n)\ll \log\log\log n.
