+.. admonition:: osx-arm64: missing random number generators
+
+   Due to a cross-compiling issue in the conda NEST package, some random number
+   generators are not available if you are using macOS arm64 architecture.
+   The available generators are the Mersenne Twister generators `mt19937` and `mt19937_64`.
