 To get started with the docs website locally, you'll need to have [Quarto](https://quarto.org/docs/download/) installed.
 Make sure you have at least version 1.5 of Quarto installed, as this is required to correctly run [the native Julia engine](https://quarto.org/docs/computations/julia.html#using-the-julia-engine).
+Ideally, you should use Quarto 1.6.31 or later as this version fixes [a bug which causes random number generation between different cells to not be deterministic](https://github.com/TuringLang/docs/issues/533).
+Note that as of October 2024, Quarto 1.6 is a pre-release version, so you may need to install it from source rather than via a package manager like Homebrew.

 We observe that, using posterior mean, the recovered data matrix `mat_rec` has values align with the original data matrix - particularly the same pattern in the first and last 3 gene features are captured, which implies the inference and p-PCA decomposition are successful.
