Jan 16, 2023 at 13:54 comment added Zhang @Kimball:in this question, I am interested in the sum of the first $N$ terms of the Dirichlet series, where $N$ is the conductor of the character, NOT an arbitrary integer independent of $\chi$.
Jan 16, 2023 at 13:38 comment added Ofir Gorodetsky I believe here the parameter $m$ is taken to be the conductor of $\chi$ which is not addressed by the answer at MSE. The work of Granville-Soundararajan mentioned there says: for given $m$, one can find a quadratic character $\chi$ with $\sum_{n \le m} \chi(n)/n$ negative. In OP's problem, $m$ is the conductor of $\chi$ so the variables $m$ and $\chi$ are 'coupled'. OP's problem turns out to be much easier than the results of Granville-Soundararajan (at least conditionally).
Jan 16, 2023 at 13:28 comment added Kimball What do you mean the answer there was a partial answer? It tells you the answer is no. What more do you want?
Jan 16, 2023 at 13:27 comment added reuns Greg Martin's answer on MSE is the right one.
