It seems to be a word much like "the N-word" (bowdlerized for your
comfort) in modern culture; a word with two completely disparate
meanings based on what social context it is used in - out-group or
in-group.
I still call clever people "hackers" if I know that the people I
hang out with will understand what I mean. But I "hack something
together" no matter who I'm hanging around.
Pretty much everyone I know uses "hacker" in the old definition.

Same goes for the word "hacker".
Anyone that uses the old definition of "hacker" these days is a fool.
