Claim in Erdős problems that formal-conjectures marks solved

A published paper or arXiv preprint answers the main question of Erdős Problem #254 (theorem erdos_254 in formal-conjectures) in full (proof, disproof, or the exact value asked for) with no hypotheses beyond the problem's own.

Problem as stated at github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/blob/34ee0e3c5fd52d202d62a71094a37970cb5fb870/FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/254.lean. The claim text is written by Corroborate; that site has not reviewed or endorsed it.

The problem, as stated in formal-conjectures (Apache 2.0):

Let A\subseteq \mathbb{N} be such that \lvert A\cap [1,2x]\rvert -\lvert A\cap [1,x]\rvert \to \infty\textrm{ as }x\to \infty and \sum_{n\in A} \{ \theta n\}=\infty for every \theta\in (0,1), where \{x\} is the distance of x from the nearest integer. Then every sufficiently large integer is the sum of distinct elements of A.
