I was reading the binary weight sequence information on OEIS (its number is A000120), when I found this sequence too. Their called the flimsy numbers, but I can't seem to find anything on google about them (minus one random email that is in reference to the OEIS). I don't see anything particularly interesting about these numbers. Is there anything of note about the flimsy numbers, or their counterpart the sturdy numbers?
